We are here today because of the Republican Party's unrelenting effort to get Donald Trump back into office, no matter the facts and no matter the law. For over 1 year, Judiciary Committee Republican colleagues have desperately sought evidence of wrongdoing by President Biden. What have they found? They have found nothing. Nothing.

We should be on the floor moving gun violence legislation, protecting the right to abortion, and protecting the LBGTQ Americans across the country who are attacked relentlessly by my colleagues on the other side. This is a colossal waste of time, but more importantly, it is dangerous. What they are doing is dangerous. When this Congress is over, the only achievements my colleagues on the other side of the aisle will be able to point to will be the things that we, as Democrats, helped them to pass. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The time of the gentlewoman has expired.
